Struggling to find a PN for the Motorcraft PVC grommet on the passenger side valve cover for my 1975 Highboy with a FE360 with C6 transmission.
The correct grommet kind of twists in like the oil filer cap with "starter" tabs at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and larger " locking" tabs at 12 and 6 o'clock which seals it down to the valve cover. Its 2 1/16 " OD and 3/4 " ID.
Here's the P/N for the original grommet:

Bob Allen Ford, Overland Park, KS shows 2 in stock (913) 381-3000. I wouldn't hold out much hope of them still having one though, the last time they updated their inventory was Feb. 04, 2016!
Finding an alternative grommet isn't too difficult. Quoted from my build thread below.

Notice the oil in the background?
Transdapt 9760 is an EXACT replacement for the OEM Ford valve cover grommets. You'll need 2 - one for the PCV hole, one for the breather on the passenger side. Very happy with that purchase. Tight fit, and makes a VERY tight seal for the PCV valve and breather tube.
Recreated the OEM cork gasket (pictured above and below) by purchasing Fel-Pro gasket maker material - Fel-pro 3060
Thanks but the 9760 won't work in my situation.
The PVC grommet itself on my 75 360 is slightly over 2 inches as an outside diameter.; the 9760 is only 1 inch OD.
The gap between the "tabs" is 1.75 inches on my valve covers.

I saw that one on EBay; A bit too steep for me.
I have the Scott Drake one inbound to me for Monday. I’ll take my chances on that one for $10.
thanks
